TLDR
A novel portable laptop control experiment is presented, which does not require the space and expense typically required for undergraduate control laboratories and is believe that the system is useful for practicing engineers who wish to update their control knowledge and skills.Abstract:
A novel portable laptop control experiment is presented, which does not require the space and expense typically required for undergraduate control laboratories. Interactive experiments are designed to cover all of the topics required for an introductory course in controls, as well as a haptics experiment. It is believe that the system is useful for practicing engineers who wish to update their control knowledge and skills.read more

Low-Cost Undergraduate Control Systems Experiments Using Microcontroller-Based Control of a DC Motor
TL;DR: The objective of this module is that students-fresh from a first course in control systems theory, which introduces them to proportional-integral-derivative control and to design using Bode plots and root locus-learn how a simple modern control system is built.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Matlab/Simulink-Based Interactive Module for Servo Systems Learning
TL;DR: This module, developed using Simulink in conjunction with the Matlab graphical user interface (Matlab-GUI) tool, is used to supplement conventional lectures in control engineering and robotics subjects.

A low-cost, free-software platform with hard real-time performance for control engineering education
Andrés M. González-Vargas,Juan M. Serna-Ramirez,Carlos Fory-Aguirre,Alejandro Ojeda-Misses,John M. Cardona-Ordoñez,Jimmy Tombé-Andrade,Alberto Soria-Lopez +6 more
TL;DR: The platform main features are: low cost, reliable and robust hardware, high‐speed USB interface, free open source software (FOSS), graphical interface modeling and hard real‐time performance based on the Real‐Time Application Interface for Linux (RTAI).
Experiential Learning In A Fluid Flow Class Via Take Home Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and assessment of a pump flow take-home experiment that was implemented in an introductory junior-level fluid mechanics course in Fall 2005, along with appropriate instructions, is assigned as homework.
Journal ArticleDOI
The quanser DC motor control trainer individual or team learning for hands-on control education - Product Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the economic demands of a laboratory course versus a lecture course are discussed and a solution for accommodating a large lab class is to have students work in teams, based on the belief that team experiences build skills that are important for a professional career.
